Memorandum of Understanding Between The National Aeronautics And Space Administration and The United States Space Force
“Despite their disparate missions, NASA and USSF share a common domain of operations space and with it a shared interest in similar capabilities, technologies, and best practices. Since NASAs inception in 1958, NASA and the Department of Defense (DoD) have shared knowledge regarding common interests. Specifically, NASA has made available to agencies directly concerned with national security, information on discoveries and technologies that have military value or significance. Conversely, national security agencies have shared with NASA, discoveries and information collected which have value or significance to its exploration, science, and technology missions. Historically, areas of collaboration have included space launch and range safety, space communications, human spaceflight support, space flight safety and space situational awareness, scientific research, and technology development.”
Any excuse for ROMBUS concept art is a good one 🙂
I agree. I feel in love with the whole concept as a kid in the 60s.
There wasn’t any hoopla about it, but over the summer Michael Hopkins, the Crew-1 commander, transferred from the Air Force to the Space Force, becoming the first USSF astronaut at JSC.
Yes, the first of many in the USSF that will fly into space.
